You don't know how many times I've seen some of these people do consciously stupid things and use as an excuse that they're stupid rather than wising up. Being stupid has been made popular particularly by the MSM and their TV shows. Some of us may watch the same shows and laugh at them as ridicule of stupid people while the dumbed down believe the same show is championing their behavior. I don't believe the Democrats should dumb down their campaign but maybe they shouldn't make a doctorate degree necessary to understand what they're saying. But I have not heard any of the latter from them.
I have compassion for the mentally retarded but not much patience for those who practice lazy mindedness. Do you?
